ABSTRACT
Parkinsons Disease is one of the movement disorders most found in the elderly population. The manifestations of the parkinsonism characterize basically by motor signals and symptoms: muscle stiffness, bradykinesia,
trembling and postural disorders. Such signs end up influencing the production of speech, interfering negatively
in the communicative expression and in the quality of life of these individuals. The Apraxia of speech is defined
as a deficit in the ability of sequencer control motors necessary for the right positioning of the articulators during the voluntary production of speech. Constitutes in a loss of the ability to execute voluntary movements
with a particular purpose, although the neuromuscular systems remain intact. The Apraxia evaluation of speech
might provide data for a better comprehension of this disorder and, consequently, for the development of new
particular evaluations and new therapeutic proposals. The aim of this study was based on literature about the
evaluation of the verbal and non-verbal abilities of apraxia of speech in elderly patients diagnosed with Parkinsons disease (PD). The literature review was based on electronic database (Medline, Cochrane, Library and
Scielo). Also was part of the review studies published in book form and dissertation to search the Public Domain
Portal. The results demonstrated that, most of the studies that evaluate the apraxia of speech are international,
and in the national literature there is only one record (Martins e Ortiz, 2004); there is not any record of particular evaluation of apraxia of speech in elderly patients with diagnoses of PD, both in the national literature as
well as the international literature. The results suggest the need for studies with diagnoses aim, considering
parameters that might supply subsidies for the differential diagnoses and therapeutic procedures directed to
the Apraxia of speech.
